•March 8, 2011 • Leave a Comment1.Azimuth is everythings distance is right from the center
2.Euclid was a Greek mathematician, he was know as the father of Geometry
a)Euclid distances is the distance between two points that one would measure with a ruler, and is given by the Pythagorean formula
3.a2+b2=c2 on a right triangle with a triangle of each side ,both small sides would equal the bigger side when mix together
4.allows two raster layers and makes a new one using algebra math
5. Distance Analysis
Density Analysis
Solar Analysis
Hydrologic Analysis
Statistical Analysis
Map Algebra

– process of determining the location of a point by measuring angles to it from known points at either end of a fixed baseline, rather than measuring distances to the point directly, Wikipedia

2. In map scale generalization has been in some way to some extent, been generalized to match the criteria of display
3.When scale decreases the points, line, and area features decreases in detail
4.Selection is merging data togather the farther u go out Simplification is making all data simple
5.nominal -name
ordinal-size/density
interval- size
